Tim Rogers may be turning 40 at the end of this month, but he shows no signs of slowing down. The iconic singer-songwriter will rally his You Am I bandmates for a short run of “intimate” cross-country shows in October and November.
The tour kicks off in Freo, heads to Adelaide, before venturing to Melbourne for the band’s traditional Cup eve show at the Prince. The band will then play two dates in Queensland – in Cairns and Brisbane – before winding things up at the Annandale in Sydney in mid-November.
It’ll be the last chance to catch You Am I live before they hole up in the studio to begin work on their next record, the follow-up to last year’s acclaimed Dilettantes. The band promise different set-lists each night including new material.
Supports include The Kill Devil Hills in WA and Johnny Casino, Super Wild Horses and The Bowerbirds in Victoria..

Yeah! Great job Super Wilds!
Johnny Casino will be a tough act for YAI to follow.
Didn't see that coming
Was the little guy playing with Barnsy recently, I saw some bull shit day time live on a tv show thing, and it looked like the little guy from You A M playing.
Has modi joined the band? That dude next to that hipster St Kilda drunk bears more than passing resemblance to him.
yes.
Indeed. Many have tried, few even get close to succeeding.
Does anyone know if any YAI albums are getable on vinyl?
Why do I find this band so unappealing and boring and all-been-done-before, when everyone else seems to love 'em?
Only Dress Me Slowly. Might have a spare, unplayed copy of this if anyone's interested...
Depends if you were uni/teenage when they were first around, I suppose.
i think it sometimes depends on what night you see them and everything has been done before. they're very good at playing the empassioned almost made it rock band.
SHUT UP SHUT UP TIM WILL GET IT TOGETHER AND IT WILL ALL BE AWESOME JUST YOU WAIT LA LA LA LA...
how did the crowd take to Johnny ?
Fuck. In Sydney for Melbourne and Melbourne for Sydney.
hmm, might drive down for this.

I WISH I WAS STILL IN SYDNEY!
Then you, as my supposed doppelganger, could help carry a bit of this load, eh? The bad news is one of us would have to go to Brisbane on SaturdayBAGSNOTME.
